A person with nowhere to go and nothing to do who wanders the sidewalks aimlessly in a swervy, slow path that blocks the paths of people who do have somewhere to go and something to do.
I was supposed to be at the Museum of Natural History thirty minutes ago but my path was slowed and at times completely blocked by roving packs of meanderthals.

Get the Meanderthalmug. 
Get the Meanderthalmug. Someone who's not very smart but goes on talking and talking circuitously around a subject without ever making any coherent point. Could be used to describe many politicians, including several State of the Union addresses of the past decade. Also applies to university professors, conference speakers, TV and radio personalities, etc.
"I can't believe so many people voted for that meanderthal."
"How did this meanderthal ever get tenure?"
"I actually paid money to sit here and listen to this meanderthal?"
"Enough of this meanderthal! I'm changing the channel."

Get the Meanderthalmug. A term used to describe a disinterested, uncommunicative and disaffected man usually found meandering back and forth between the snack and liquor tables at “stupid” parties hosted by his girlfriend’s or wife’s “boring” friends.
Heather: Kelly, your boyfriend, Cornelius, hasn’t talked to anyone the whole time, and he’s just been standing over there for about hour stuffing his face with nacho dip and slamming beers.
Kelly: I know, he’s being a total meanderthal.

Get the Meanderthalmug. A person who will thoughtlessly jaywalk into approaching traffic.
A meanderthal is confident that any car speeding towards them will avoid them and that no driver has ever taken his or her eyes off the road for a second so it's totally safe to stop cars by throwing your body out in front of them.

Get the Meanderthalmug. Similar to a modern day neanderthal.. this is an individual who is not only ignorant, abusive and always willing to spout hateful words to those who are smarter, but has the added bonus of being able to meander freely throughout the planet spreading their ignorance.
I wanted to get away from the local idiots but unfortunately no matter where I went, I was surrounded by meanderthals. There should be a law against that.

Get the Meanderthalmug. The condition demonstrated by one having one's head down, focused solely one one's cell phone screen while walking, invariably at a slow, dazed pace on a random, haphazard course. Often accompanied by mouth breathing. The condition is non-gender specific.
Terry's meanderthal wanderings have been responsible for multiple cases of other pedestrians having to suddenly change course to avoid collisions, and more than one or two rear-end collisions as Terry aimlessly stepped into traffic without warning, oblivious to the rest of the world.
